SIMPLE SWAP 2013 - Brag Thread!

[Ice Crystal]

Woohoo! I'm pumped about starting a brag thread. Here it goes...

Another brag, another batch of shoddy phone camera photos. Please ignore the ominous shadows and my wrinkled bed sheets.

Shot of the inside of the box! I adore this postcard. I have a poster-size version of it hanging up in my room. G1 Big Brothers are among my all-time favourite ponies and this print makes me smile every time I see it.

Super fun G4 wrapping paper with purple ribbons (as you can tell, purple is my favourite colour and my partner got it down perfectly)! There didn't seem to be any order to the packages so I attempted to open them from smallest to largest.

Blind bags! I opened them up and...

I got Flim AND Flam! Two ponies I have been looking for for ages. Partner, do you have x-ray vision? (Did they bring the numbering system back without my knowing?). Here they are on one of my many dusty and disorganized pony shelves. They'll get cleaned when we move next month haha.

Masquerade Rarity for my MIP basic release Rarity collection. I have her hanging up on my wall with my other Raritys! I love the masquerade ponies so much. I have Sunset Shimmer as well and I have to fight myself from not buying the others in the set.

5" Funrise Rarity! So many pony plush were released/announced this year and I decided early on to combat my urge to be a completionist and just focus on a few. So I vowed to only get the smallest of the three Funrise Raritys. Unfortunately, I have been able to find every size BUT this one at my local stores. Swap partner to the rescue!

Cake Family Miniature Collection set! The Cakes are some of my favourite side characters and the baby Cakes are absolutely precious in blind bag size (imagine how cute they would be as brushables!). I'm so excited to finally have this set, thank you!

And last but not least...

STYLING SIZE G3 CHEERILEE (Who is looking very ill in the light from my lamp haha)

I have been slacking on my G3 unicorn collection, and I have been coveting this girl for a while. She's one of my favourite G3s of all time, and best yet, she's styling size which is by far the funnest to play with (as the name would suggest). You can do so much with their hair!

For those wondering, my secret swap partner was...
HIMMIE!

Thank you so, so much, himmie! I feel positively spoiled!

Also, I have to ask... where did you get that post card? The back says it's licensed by Enterplay -- I had no idea they made G1 stuff!

Awesome brag Cute goodies

[Chaosette]

Faaaaaantastic job Himmie! And congratulations Owsly what a great box.

[himmie]

Yay, I am so glad that you like everything! It was a lot of fun to shop for you, especially looking for different generations than what I normally collect.

The postcard is from the MLP Fair. I think Enterplay finally has the full set for sale on their website now too.

I was so happy when our hostesses said we could send two blind bags as one gift. It would have been sad to only send one of those two! Haha. They do have codes but they are different and at the bottom of the package. I believe those guys are AF & AG. (G4's are incredibly confusing for me so I am glad they turned out correct! )

Cannot wait for some more brags!

[terabithianprince]

Oh wow, what a great box. I love G4s as much as G1. You did a great job, himmie and congrats, Owlsy!
